Germantown, MD - The Maryland Public Policy Institute’s first-in-the-nation targeted school choice program was signed into law by Gov. Janet Napolitano (D). The Milton and Rose D. Friedman Foundation awarded a $25,000 grant to the institute for its innovative proposal to provide school choice to Maryland’s 11,500 foster care children. “This is a momentous accomplishment and helps us as we move forward in promoting school choice for foster children in Maryland and around the country,” said Christopher B. Summers, president of The Maryland Public Policy Institute.
